Hail To The Future King In Kensington
Kensington Circus Pub, a hangout for Anglophiles, will celebrate the birth of England's future king on Sunday with a special supper.
Most of the United Kingdom seemed to be gripped with "royal baby fever" for the past week. Of course, you didn't have to be British to get swept up in the excitement leading up to the happy addition to England's royal family -- but it helped.
At one British outpost in the East Bay -- the Kensington Circus Pub -- the discussion shifted from the usual topics of rugby and football (translated soccer) to baby talk.
Prince William and Kate announced the birth of their first child on Monday. The boy, third in line to the throne, will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
"We've been watching the birth of the future King of England here," said Scott McFadin, owner of the Circus Pub. McFadin said the Circus Pub will celebrate the baby's birth on Sunday with a traditional English roast supper with traditional recipes. The pub will be open extended hours.
McFadin suggested if the roast is a success he'd like to make it a weekly tradition.
